High Yielding Stocks Going Ex-Dividend in Mid-January

"1% is not high yield"

Agreed!

There are lots of Canadian energy and Real Estate trusts paying out over 10%. And that's after having already cut their distributions and then seen their prices follow downward.

Buying them now doesn't just give you the distribution, but also lots of upside potential.

And yes, I know the articles about "dividends" and not "distributions", but cash is cash, no matter what it's called when it's paid to you.
